Really sh*tty Sandra HD scores...=(

[Passions]

I ran Sandra HD benchmarks and I get a palsy score of 13889!!! My HD is a Maxtor 20gb 7,200 NTFS formatted. I defraggmented and it only bumped upto 15266. I also checked and it is set to UDMA mode too. I am at a complete lost as to why my HD is so low. When I scroll or use alot of cpu, my mp3z skip and pop. This is horrible. I am thinking about reformmating and going FAT32 instead, but before I do, any help as to bumping up my HD scores? grrrrr....

HD Performance is directly related to the Drive Controller driver. Check to make sure you have the right controller driver and also the latest version. Check the mobo manual and also their homepage for the latest version.😎

What motherboard are you using. That info may let us help you better, if you are using the HPT controller on a Abit board and it is not setup right that could be your problem.

And what kind of maxtor is this? I got the 6800+ 20.4 gb and gets a score around that. And it seems like it gets alittle bit better with fat32.

But if it is the 40+ or 60+ the score is kind of low.
